Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between interstate and intrastate moving?
Interstate moving crosses state lines and is regulated by the federal FMCSA. Intrastate moving stays within Florida and is regulated by FDACS. The rules, licensing, and insurance requirements differ between the two.
Do I need to be present for the weigh-in on an interstate move?
You have the right to observe the weigh-in of your shipment. Request the scale ticket from your mover — it shows the tare (empty truck) weight and gross (loaded) weight used to calculate your bill.
What is a not-to-exceed estimate for interstate moving?
A not-to-exceed estimate guarantees you'll pay the binding price or the actual weight-based cost, whichever is lower. It offers the best consumer protection and is the recommended estimate type for all interstate moves.
